Clark Conservation District’s Native Plant Sale


The purpose of the Clark Conservation District annual plant sale is to promote the stewardship and conservation of our natural resources through offering plants at affordable prices. Clark CD sells conservation-grade plants as bare root stock or small container grown stock. The plants sold at this sale are “conservation grade,” which means they are graded on their ability to survive, not on their ornamental value. We sell them in bundles of five and expect a 75% survival rate. Seedling plants are not large, so your order should fit in the trunk or back seat of your car.
